I like the english except for when I'm playing CoD. Then they're a bunch of camping ba$tards. Yeah, sit in the corner with your barrat you camping fcuking ba$tard. You're good at camping aren't you. Come over here on a visit and stay for 800 FCUKING YEARS. YER ALL CAMPING BA$TARDS!!!

Until some french guy starts whinging and we both start insulting him. CoD really brings out the inherent racism in everyone.

I'm not British in the slightest, but I and my family and neighbours are all so devastatingly attractive to Britain that they keep offering us citizenship. It must be rough for them, getting knocked back by us all the time, a bit like being the fat burd at a disco.

No I think it is advantageous for Ireland to remain independent as in economically, influence, keeping our own Atlantic resources oil included, also been small keeps us out of stupid wars which Britain always end up in.

I am happy to be out of the Union, but I am also happy with the recent state of Anglo/Irish relations. I actually enjoyed the Royal visit last year as did most Irish.

I have 'look up the history'. He is the Gaelics mans worst enemy thoughtout history. He is our Hitler.

Godwin this early? To be fair to Keith he has something of a point. Cromwell gave quarter more than average for a general of his time. He certainly gave more in Ireland than in England. That was an unbelievably vicious civil war. Atrocities a go go. Tens of thousands dead in single battles and 100's of thousands dead from disease in the trail of it.

In all but one of the towns that negotiated a surrender with Cromwell he gave safe passage to the civilians. The exception being Wexford, though his troops went batshít on that occasion. He issued orders when he arrived that no civilian was to be harmed or robbed of property and actually hanged a few of his own men(inc officers) for breaking this order.

Was Cromwell a cúnt? Yes, but no more than most Puritan Religious nutbags at the time, especially if moving about in a Catholic country. Was he "Irelands Hitler"? The people left in command after him were way worse. It was they who kicked off the mass killings, theft and enslavement of us.
